Ohio Power Restored After Storm | Cincinnati News

Power’s almost back for most of central Ohio by tonight—thanks to a massive, 24/7 repair effort involving over 2,500 workers from 12 states. After devastating storms on August 11th—comparable to the 2012 derecho—downed trees and soaked ground caused widespread outages. Crews are using drones to spot damage and working 16-hour days to restore power. While the bulk of the original damage should be fixed by midnight, new outages from additional fallen trees are being handled separately. Stay safe: debris cleanup can hide downed lines.
